[QUOTE=Omniscient] Little help? I’m going to NYC next weekend and was hoping to land some tickets to the Bears v. Giants game. Haven’t been before and I was curious what to expect to pay to scalp and if you guys have suggestions of what the best avenue for getting tix is. **Ellis** …anyone else? [/QUOTE] You’re crazy if you think I’m going to offer aid to the enemy for that game. The waiting list for season tickets is in excess of 30 years long. So while every game since the early 80s has been sold out, most of the people with season tickets are over 50. That means they sit there quietly watching the game, occasionally speaking up to yell at the young whippersnappers to _Sit Down_, by gum. The last thing I want is for an able-bodied young Bears fan to find his way into the stadium so he can make more noise than 100 Giants fans. The sad and pathetic part? I’m not kidding. Last year the impromptu Monday nighter against the Saints was almost devoid of season ticket holders, since it was past their bedtime. With such short notice, it wasn’t even sold out, but the demographic in attendance skewed way younger. The result? Loudest Giants home game in recent memory. Being a night and a flex game, the geezers may bail on the Bears game via ticketexchange. Incidentally, there are apparently some tickets available for today’s game. It seems the Texans didn’t use their allotment and sent a bunch back. ---

[QUOTE=Ellis Dee] Ha, [you ain’t kidding](http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/01-00/01-16-00/b01sp054.htm): [/QUOTE] I would never ever fault a coach for running up the score in a playoff game, unless it’s totally blatant, like throwing to the endzone with 1 minute left when it’s 30-14 or something. It would be horrible to be the victim of one of those amazing comebacks because you decided to be generous enough to keep the game respectable. Besides, I’m a big advocate of sticking with what’s working. The way NE was still going 5 wide last monday despite being up by 20 points is something I totally respect. I hope the SD/Browns game is over, to at least provide some entertaining football. Last week, in the first game called by our new OC, we had 3 solid to even good quarters of playcalling, followed by 1 quarter of martyball. I’m worried that if he martyballs, and marty martyballs, I might fall asleep before the game is over. ---

Er, that sounded too much like I hate low-scoring football. That isn’t true. I appreciate a defensive/field position standoff that ends 9-6, classic AFC central/north style, when the teams and game conditions permit it. I just hate martyball based on lack of balls rather than it being the best plan given the conditions. ---

Now I have to put up with the retarded pollyannas on the browns message boards saying “WE ONLY LOST BY ONE SCORE TO A GREAT TEAM! YAY!! WE’RE GOING TO THE MORAL VICTORY SUPERBOWL!!!” grr.

Okay, there have been a couple of pretty bullshit penalty calls in the first half against the Pats. But there’s no way that Brady made the first down on that sneak (end of the first half). So I’m willing to call it even so far, especially if we get some points on this drive 😛 ---

Heh, my number one Browns memory is from my first week of college. It was my first NFL Sunday in Baltimore, and the early game was Browns-Chiefs because of regional importance or somesuch… which, of course, turned out to be the helmet-throwing game 🙂 In the game at hand, here’s to a stop or two in the second half! Please! ---

It’s week 10, essentially the halfway point in the season since everyone has their bye weeks out of the way and have played 8 games. Looking at the board there’s really only one big game this week and it should draw all the attention. The Chargers-Bengals game is nice, Eagles-Skins will get some attention because of the media, Pats-Jets is a mismatch but is still a divisional battle at the top of the AFC east. Seahawks-Rams could be critical but both teams are off their games. In short, this week is all about Bears-Giants. I’m going to change things up a little and break down the Sunday Night game first. Usually I do the late games last, but there’s two very good reasons I’m switching it up. The first I outlined above, it’s really the most interesting game by a wide margin, and I will be attending this game, entering hostile territory decked out in the Orange and Navy. It’s late and I’m flying out tomorrow so the bulk of the picks will be quickie style. Sorry, but I need to sleep a little tonight. Sunday, Nov. 12 **NY GIANTS PK Chicago 38½** The Giants are notably without all of their best defensive players. Much to **Ellis Dee** ’s chagrin. The Bears are coming to town with a chip on their shoulder, and my loud ass mouth behind them, and really have to show they are for real. It’s tough to think about a 7-1 team with an insurmountable divisional lead playing a critical game in week 10 but this is where the Bears are at. After this game they play 2 more tough road games and could be in trouble if they lose all three. Getting this first one after that bad loss will do wonders for their confidence. After the egg they laid in Arizona they came back with a nearly perfect performance. I’m going to wager the same thing happens here. The Giants running game scares the crap out of me but with Burress gimpy and Toomer out they should be able to crowd the line just enough to keep Tiki under wraps. Frankly, the outcome rests solely on the Giants ability to convert on third down. Tiki is the best at it and we’ll have to hope Urlacher is healthy enough to shadow him and limit that. Grossman should have plenty of time and the Giants secondary isn’t very good. So long as he’s not pressured he’s deadly. I think the Bears get two or three big plays in the air this week and the “experts” will be back on the Grossman bandwagon. The Pick: **Bears, Under** **Kansas City 1 MIAMI 40** The Dolphins game last week was a fluke. LJ goes huge this week again. The Pick: **Chiefs, Under** **JACKSONVILLE 10½ Houston 37½** Jags are getting it together again and they still can dominate at home. Gerrard has to defend his starting position and it will be at the expense of the Texans. The Pick: **Jags, Over** **San Diego 1½ CINCINNATI 47½** Chargers are beat up badly on D and haven’t played well on the road. The Bengals are on the verge of imploding. I think the Bengals D is the weakest unit in the game and with LDT on the field that will be more than just a line in the box score. The Pick: **Chargers. Over** **ATLANTA 9 Cleveland 41** The Browns will keep it close. The Falcons fattened up on weak teams and I see a lot of similarities between the Browns and the Lions. The Falcons still win, but not by double digits. The Pick: **Browns, Over** **Baltimore 7 TENNESSEE 38** Ravens defense tears Vince Young apart. Without a formidable running game there’s almost no hope for the Titans to sustain a drive. The Ravens will have awesome field position all game and it will so on the scoreboard. The Pick: **Ravens, Under** **INDIANAPOLIS 11½ Buffalo 45** Yup, the Colts are good. Manning is real good. The Bills are coached by Dick Jauron. Those are all the relevant facts. The Pick: **Colts, Under** **PITTSBURGH 4½ New Orleans 45** This is a silly spread. In what way have the Steelers earned the right to be favored? In a way, I can understand the logic. The Saints were partially exposed and Reggie Bush has disappeared. Still Brees is the real deal and they’ll score points. The Steelers players sound like they are on the verge of quitting and as long as Ben struggles on third down so will the Steelers. The Pick: **Saints, Under** **PHILADELPHIA 7 Washington 43** McNabb will have a huge day against that pathetic Redskins pass defense. Nuff said. The Pick: **Eagles, Over** **MINNESOTA 5 Green Bay 39½** The Vikings couldn’t score on the SDMB intramural team. I like Favre to overcome his historic troubles in the dome versus this inept offense. Call it the moveable object versus the resistible force, I like the movable Pack D to do just enough. The Pick: **Packers, Over** **NEW ENGLAND 10½ NY Jets 39½** Think the Pats will let down after last weeks poor performance? I doubt it, I think Belichick goes back to basics and Maroney has a ton of carries. They won’t get cute with screens to Faulk this week and the Jets will have fewer than 60 total rushing yards on the day. The Pick: **Pats, Under** **DETROIT 6 San Francisco 45** Lions are getting it together, just like all the experts predicted. Martz will have a field day versus this hopeless 49ers pass defense. The Pick: **Lions, Over** **Denver 9 OAKLAND 33½** Somehow these guys played a close game last time and it’s in Oakland this time. Of course the image of Moss and company frustrated on the bench is a pretty strong argument against this team getting anything going. I’ll give the points, lightning won’t strike twice (meaning the Raiders covering). The Pick: **Broncos, Over** **SEATTLE 3½ St. Louis 43½** The Rams are pretty lost but I’m not convinced the Seahawks can do enough without Hasselbeck or Alexander. The Rams cannot stop anyone on defense and that’s almost always a recipe for disaster, on the road that counts double. The Pick: **Seahwaks, Under** **Dallas 7 ARIZONA 43** The Cards suck. Romo and the Boys should have won last week and this should be a double digit spread. Lets not over think this one. The Pick: **Cowboys, Under** Monday, Nov. 13 **CAROLINA 9½ Tampa Bay 37** The Bucs are winless on the road this season and have struggled mightily to score points in recent weeks. Neither team’s defense is especially impressive but the matchups favor Steve Smith and the Panthers pretty heavily. In their first game this season the Panthers squeaked out a close win on the road but they committed 3 turnovers and Delhomme was playing much worse than he has been lately. Gradkowski has kept the mistakes to a minimum, great for a rookie, but he’s also struggling to move the ball downfield. Both teams are terrible on third down offensively and both are very good defensively, that should add up to a low scoring affair. The Panthers haven’t won a single game this season by more than 8 points and have suffered a pair of tough losses prior to last weeks bye. The odds probably favor the Bucs to cover that spread. The Panthers will likely win the game but I don’t see a double digit margin, however my gut is telling me that John Fox will have used the bye week and the MNF hype to get his team clicking offensively. They will be better on the ground and in turn will be better on third down. The Pick: **Panthers, Under** OMNI Picks: **Cowboys, Eagles, Chiefs, Bears, Lions** ---

I’m going to make uneducated guesses about all these games, and why? Because I can. But it might be interesting to compare my one-week success to that of somebody who knows what they’re talking about. Or not. Here goes, not worrying about the over/under: GIANTS v. Chicago: Chicago. I have no confidence in NY in highly visible games. Kansas City v. MIAMI: KC. I have no confidence in the Dolphins, either. JACKSONVILLE v. Houston: Houston. San Diego v. CINCINNATI: San Diego. ATLANTA v. Cleveland: Atlanta. I hate that team, but I have to pick them here over the schlimmazel Browns. Baltimore v. TENNESSEE: Baltimore. Gee, that was easy. INDIANAPOLIS v. Buffalo: Indy. Ditto. PITTSBURGH v. New Orleans: Call be crazy, but I’m picking Pittsburgh here. PHILADELPHIA v. Washington: A classic matchup between teams I hate. Washington. MINNESOTA v. Green Bay: Minnesota, but who cares? NEW ENGLAND v. NY Jets: NE, because otherwise it wouldn’t be right. DETROIT v. San Francisco: SF. Denver v. OAKLAND: Oakland’s the real deal. Denver. SEATTLE v. St. Louis: Rams. Dallas v. ARIZONA: Can’t pick the Cowboys on general principles. CAROLINA v. Tampa Bay: Carolina. Let the games begin! ---
